Dark Horse have a good history when it comes to video games, and although the medium rarely translates well to the silver screen, there have been some great comics based on video games in the last few years, such as Udon’s always good value Street Fighter series, plus the Horse’s own efforts which include franchises such as Mass Effect, and Dragon Age. This 106 page full colour TPB collects the recent four issue mini-series based on the game of the same name that was released not that long ago. It’s not her normal playground, but I’m glad I gave The Last Of Us: American Dreams a chance. I’ve pretty much read everything she’s done since my first exposure to her, and when I saw her name in relation to a dark, horror video game title, I was rather surprised. She somehow manages to make every character relatable and sympathetic, and there’s great depth in her cartooning style. If I recall correctly, I picked it up on a whim my first time at San Diego Comic-Con a few years ago, and fell in love with her storytelling ability. I’ve been a fan of writer/artist Faith Erin Hicks since her OGN Zombies Calling.
